SENIORS Many seniors aim high in Armed Forces By Ray Fann Ten seniors were signed up for the military when school began in the fall. Steve Arant, Neil Coffelt, Chris Curtis, and Jay Yankacy were all signed up for the Air Force while Shawn Clemenson, Clayton Creasey, and Coady Pike were joining the Navy. Going into the Marine Corps were Darrin Cran- ford, Curt Eastwood, and Kincade Gerard. Both Arant and Yankacy left for basic training at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio this spring because they wanted “to get an early start’ in their careers of law enforcement and mechanics, respectively. This was made possi- ble by taking two CWP classes and semantics first semester, and get- ting the counselor's approval. “I think I can get the most out of the Marine Corps,” Said Curt Eastwood. Each person had their own reasons ‘si selecting what branch they wanted to go into. “I don’t want to go on the ocean,” said Yankacy, “and | don’t want to be a grunt.”” “I think | can get the most out of the Marine Corps,” said Eastwood. Coffelt, however, had a different frame of mind. “There are more in- telligent poeple going into the Air Force than other branches,” he said. Although their occupations will range from mechanics to ex- plosives to law enforcement to be- ing an F4 navigator, most said they expected boot camp to be the ‘hardest part. But what about going to war? ‘lL really never thought about it,’ said Eastwood. 28 Lynn Russell Jerrod Saab Charalee Sanchez Kristi Scheele Evonne Schmidt Michelle Schmidt Rusty Schroeder Dawn Schuler

Some said they’d always remember their friends and the fun weekends. And others had some in- teresting and embarrassing moments to share. “ll never forget the time | was in In- termediate Foods and made this creme pie. When | went to show it to the teacher, someone bumped me and the pie went all over the teacher. | was a freshman then, of course,” said Teresa Cammack. Leah Ross said, ‘‘I’ll never forget the time in Oregon on an orchestra trip when Lauri Robinson and | climbed out of our hotel window and went up a couple of floors to visit a good-looking guy that we’d met earlier in the hot tub. We could have stayed all night without getting caught, but we got paranoid and went back to our room.” “VIL never forget boggin in the weapon (Pinto) at the Holiday Inn Theatre,” said Preston Knutuson. Jeanette Bremer decided that she’d “never forget going to the Prom. We went all out in style — from the car we drove to dinner at the Yacht Club complete with non-alcoholic cham- pagne. Also, I'll never forget Melody Hall and the moonlit drive around Lake Whatcom afterwards. “VIL never forget the after-game dances, formal dances, and all the hot chicks streamin’ the hallways during classes and lunch,” said Darcy Kildall. “Vll never forget when | was a freshman and | was very nervous because | didn’t know anyone. But now, as a senior, I’ve been in plays and | have a lot of friends and everything,” said Randy Jefferson. Kari Chadbourne said that she’d “never forget the pep assembly where we tore apart a stuffed rabbit (sym- bolizing Bellingham High School) into little shreds.” “Il never forget when | was a junior, Theresa and | stole a Bell- ingham sign with a blinking light and we couldn’t get the light to stop blink- ing in the car,’”’ said Tracy Maynard. “I'll never forget my freshman year. | fell asleep during band while Mr. Hansen was yelling at people for falling asleep in class,’’ said Theresa McDonald. “I'll never forget when Norm Ten- nyson threw Craig Austin into the gar- bage dumpster,’”’ said Bronson Nyhus. “Il never forget when Kevin Hall was with me and Kurt Deforest was with Darrin Cranford. We were in our trucks in a big mud hole and water started to come in. We had to take it to the car wash to clean it so my dad didn't know that we went bogging,” said Kincade Gerard. Kevin Hall said, ‘‘I’ll never forget on the Fourth of July Mike Clausen and | tried to outrun a cop out at the reser- vation and Mike turned on a dead end road.” Ben Berger said, ‘‘I’ll never forget when | first got my license and C.V. and P.K. and I, all went out with my mom’s car. We went mud bogging and we hit a tree, lost two hub caps, and got pulled over by two different cops all in the same night.”’ ‘I'll never forget the final group get- together at Lutheran Summer Music Camp. People from all over the coun- try came to Concordia College at Moorehead, Minnesota, for a month of music and strong Christian fellowship. During the month we spent every hour of the day together: playing music, having fun, and praisin God We all became very close,” said Phil Heaven. 27
